I was in this commercial when I was in first grade. Do you have a hard copy I could get ahold of?

can you add anything about the filming or what how you got picked?

The commercial was filmed on Long Island, New York, at Shelter Rock Elementary. I think the commercial was filmed there because our school already was using the program. It was filmed over a few days. It was fun to do the wardrobe and have people fuss over a bunch of 6 year olds. My mother said she recieved a letter informing parents of the upcoming commerical and anyone interested could audtion.

@megaboyter I was in a writing to read commercial in '86. They filmed at our school in Burlington NC. There were no auditions. Basically, my class went to computer lab on a weekend and did our regular thing and they filmed it. I didn't even know they made more. They made 90, 60, and 30 second commercials out of the footage they got at my school.

Scott Grimes is currently starring in the TV drama ER, now in its 15th season. Scott Grimes has a divine voice.....

The red-headed boy in this commercial is Scott Grimes, who was once Alyssa Milano's best friend and played Chad McCann on Who's the Boss? among other things.
